Help sell "real" local food outside on weekend mornings. We need workers at our farmers' market booth on Saturdays at Hurcamp Park in Fredericksburg, as well as in Stafford on Sundays. Need both cooks and 'front booth' sales people. Prefer those who are comfortable with both. Preference also given to candidates that have an SUV or larger type vehicle and willingness to carry supplies to the market.
Please note that we are trying to "staff up" 3 good people before the Stafford market opening on April 7th (Fred opens April 13th). You will receive paid training (base only) in March leading up to this.
We are a heritage hog farm in western Goochland County (between Charlottesville and Richmond) who also vends hot food featuring the pork we raise [www.HogHavenFarm.com]. This a part-time weekend morning job, $11 to $14 per hour, plus tips and bonuses (make over $25/hr on a busy day, cash payment at end of shift).
Ability to lift up to 50lbs and reliable transportation required. Shifts start as early as 6am and are rain or shine! So can't be afraid to get up early on the weekend or to work outside on days when the weather is not so great.
Please note that most days this is a fairly bustling sales environment that is more like working in a busy kitchen than a typical farm stand. We are interested only in people who enjoy this type of activity and understand how to work with the sense of urgency required when things get busy. If you think you have this quality, then we are willing to train you, even if you lack experience.
Applicants should be have expectation to work for at least one market season.
